Shops Open on Christmas Day in Australia 2025: What’s Open, What’s Closed, and Where to Get Essentials

Christmas Day in Australia is famous for two things: the lunch spread… and the moment you realise you’re missing something crucial (ice, batteries, nappies, medicine, or that “one last ingredient” for gravy). The catch is that Christmas Day (Thursday, 25 December 2025) is also one of the quietest retail days of the year, with most major retailers and shopping centres shut and public holiday rules varying by state. The good news: you’re not completely out of options—but you do need to know where to look, and you should expect reduced hours and patchy availability.

Il giorno di Natale in Australia è famoso per due cose: il pranzo… e il momento in cui ti rendi conto che ti manca qualcosa di cruciale (ghiaccio, batterie, pannolini, medicine o quel „ultimo ingrediente” per il sugo). La questione è che il giorno di Natale (giovedì 25 dicembre 2025) è anche uno dei giorni più tranquilli dell’anno per il commercio al dettaglio, con la maggior parte dei grandi rivenditori e centri commerciali chiusi e regole sui giorni festivi che variano da stato a stato.
